“How To Gut a Book.” Georgia Review 43 (1989): 731-44.
The second of my Georgia Review essays, this was originally given as a talk at the Kentucky Philological Association.
One of my own all-time favorites, I would learn only many years after its publication that at least one colleague at another university had for years made it required reading by all his undergraduate students.
One of my few essays without a colon.
Now available in The Ventriloquist, a collection I originally considered calling How to Gut a Book.
